Jerry is going to do a full deal with Dez. Dez basically made it impossible with his performance.
He will then tag Murray because we are not ready to be without him yet and can't swing 2 contracts.
Not to mention the optics would look really bad.
The real issue is the nature of the positions. Murray will be 30 and this is when RB start to jump the shark if they have not already.
It is tragic to have to think this way about a guy who was so good. It is what it is.
Between the 2 players you have to tag the one who is more likely to give you diminishing returns.
The only wildcard I see. If Dez wants to be the highest paid receiver and won't budge an inch during talks
Jerry could just get pissed and tag him.
Murray is 26 and will be 27 when this season starts and ends.
